Dark energy constraints in light of Pantheon SNe Ia, BAO, cosmic chronometers and CMB polarization and lensing data

Abstract

To explore whether there is new physics going beyond the standard cosmological model or not, we constrain seven cosmological models by combining the latest and largest Pantheon Type Ia supernovae sample with the data combination of baryonic acoustic oscillations, cosmic microwave background radiation, Planck lensing and cosmic chronometers. We find that a spatially flat universe is preferred in the framework of Λ CDM cosmology, that the constrained equation of state of dark energy is very consistent with the cosmological constant hypothesis in the ω CDM model, that there is no evidence of dynamical dark energy in the dark energy density-parametrization model, that there is no hint of interaction between dark matter and dark energy in the dark sector of the universe in the decaying vacuum model, and that there does not exist the sterile neutrino in the neutrino sector of the universe in the Λ CDM model. We also give the 95% upper limit of the total mass of three active neutrinos Σ m_ν<0.178 eV under the assumption of Λ CDM scenario. It is clear that there is no any departure from the standard cosmological model based on current observational datasets.
